The 3 KeNako students who finished as the top three players in the Glacier Junior tournament held at The Links at Fancourt earlier this year were invited to play a round with John Bland at The Links. Good to see (from left) Franklin Manchest, James Pennington, John Bland and Johan Oosthuizen all walking up the fairway to their balls on the tough par 5 18th hole! Johan’s father Marius travelled up from Cape Town to watch the boys play their round with John. Special thanks are due to John for his generosity in playing with the boys.

A beautiful view of The Links with the Outeniqua Mountains in the background. Students enrolled at the KeNako Academy enjoy many wonderful privileges! It was a special day for the three KeNako boys who played together with John Bland.
